Regardless of your faith or background, you might appreciate an op-ed I wrote, published in the small Central Florida Jewish community newspaper, The Heritage. Hyman Bookbinder, who I worked for 24 years ago while in college, was a remarkable witness and participant in history. He acted on his deep convictions and played a small role in bringing about a more just society. He influences me to this day.
